IF YOUR ROUTER IS SITUATED NEAR TO YOUR FIRESTICK THEN YOU
NEED THE THREE ITEMS SHOWN BELOW TO MAKE A WIRED CONNECTION - THIS WILL ALSO
GIVE YOU SOME EXTRA USB PORTS
Micro USB Splitter Cable
- Amazon.es ASIN B072Z9QHYR
Ethernet Adapter Hub - Amazon.es ASIN

3M
Ethernet Connector Lead - Amazon.es ASIN B00KIQ8R4C
Prices - The splitter cable is
about €8, The hub is about €25 & The Lead is about €3
The hub, gives you three extra USB ports
which you can use for memory sticks and keypads etc.
Plug the Ethernet cable coming from any spare LAN port on your internet router, into the Ethernet socket on the end of the Ethernet Adapter Hub. Plug the male larger USB connector of the hub, into the larger female USB socket of Micro USB Splitter cable, then unplug the micro usb power cable which is plugged into the side of your firestick, into the female micro usb socket of the splitter cable, then plug the male micro usb plug of the splitter cable into the female micro usb power socket on the side of the firestick.
THIS WORKS IN MOST CASES,
BUT NO GUARANTEES
IF YOU
DO NOT NEED EXTRA USB PORTS
& YOU HAVE
A SPARE UNUSED STANDARD USB PORT
AVAILABLE ON YOUR TV
YOU CAN IN MOST CASES USE THIS UNIT TO CABLE YOUR FIRESTICK DIRECTLY TO YOUR
ROUTER
IF THIS ARRANGEMENT DOES NOT
WORK, THEN TRY PLUGGING THE USB CONNECTOR OF THIS ETHERNET ADAPTER, INTO THE
USB POWER ADAPTER THAT CAME WITH THE FIRESTICK

VERY IMPORTANT - AFTER YOU INSTALL THE ABOVE HARDWARE, PLEASE BE SURE TO CHANGE YOUR FIRESTICK INTERNET NETWORK CONNECTION SETTINGS, FROM BEING A WIFI CONNECTION, TO A CABLED CONNECTION, IN THE NETWORK SETTINGS MENU
ABOVE SYSTEM DOES NOT WORK WITH VERY EARLY VERSION/S OF FIRESTICK, MY RESEARCH
SUGGESTS THE FOLLOWING FIRESTICKS WORK WITH THE ABOVE COMBO

4K, Fire TV Cube, and Amazon Fire TV (3rd Gen, Pendant Design)

YOUR FIRESTICK,

Signal via the mains wiring of the house, from one device to the other, with
